Intense Love

Chapter 24

"What do you want?" taas kilay tanong ko kay Cyfer.

Nandito kami sa may park. Dito namin napag desyonan na mag usap dahil baka makita pa kami ng mga marites naming kapitbahay at baka laman na naman ako ng tsimis nila mamaya.

"I'm sorry" panimuala nito.

I didn't bother to talk. I just looked at the people who's passing by.

"I'm sorry for being asshole-

"Buti alam mo" I sarcastically said.

I'm not affected though. Naiinis lang talaga ako sakanya. Ilang buwan na kaya ang nakalipas pero ngayon lang siya nakipag usap nang matino.

"I don't know what to do para mapatawad mo ako. If you want to slap me then do it. If you want me to vanished then I will. Just let me explain."

"Okay" tipid na sagot ko.

I also want to hear his explaination kaya pinabayaan ko na ito.

"First of all, I really love you before. But when mom and dad found out about you They want me to stay away from you kong hindi ay iipitin nila ang negosyo niyo. At first ayaw kong maniwala dahil baka binablackmail lang nila ako but I was wrong........I saw you working hard. At ito ang pinakaayaw ko sa lahat. Ang nahihirapan ka. Kaya nong graduation natin ay pinaplano na nila mama na sa manila ako mag-aaral. I was really mad that time.......kaya.....naisipan kong pumunta sa bar para mawala lahat ng galit ko......I thought that was a good decision but I just w-woke up........" He paused starting to shed his tears.

Habang nakikinig ako ay hindi ko mapigilang lumuha. I was hurt but I can't imagine how he handle everything in his own.

" I-I woke up........t-totall totally naked with Candy beside me...........Sa araw-araw parang pinipiga ang puso ko.....araw- araw-araw natatanong ko sa sarili ko. Do Isha deserve me?....Am I deserve to have her? Coz she's too innocent and I'm an a-asshole"

Walang pigil na pagtulo ang luha ko. Wala akong paki kong anong sasabihin ng mga dumadaan. I just hug him not because I love him. But because I know he need someone to lean. He heard him sob in my shoulder and same with me.

"I was too selfish that time na mas pinili kong itago ang lahat kasya malaman mo ang totoo. I was afraid that you might leave me without hearing my explain. G-gago ko kasi e"

He laughed at the last sentence making me laugh too. Kumalas ako sa yakap at ganon rin ko. I wiped my tears at ganon rin ito.

"I-I'm sorry Cy. I didn't know what you've been through. I'm also clueless and useless dahil hindi ko man lang na notice ang mga problema mo."

"It's in the past now, Isha. I hope you'll forgive me. And about Candy......I hope you'll not be mad at her dahil ako naman ang kasalanan sa simula palang"

I chuckled from what he said. "So mahal mo na ang best friend ko?"

I saw him looked ayaw na parang nakokonsenya sa maaring isagot. I just smile, knowing that he's in love with Candy.

"Hey, it's okay. Hindi naman ako magagalit kong mahal mo na si Candy. I'm also in love with someone else too" natatawang saad ko dahil parang wala talang planong sumagot.

"Really? That's good to hear. Makakahinga na pala ako ng maluwaga" natatawang saad rin nito at bumuga pa ng hangin na tila nakahinga ng maluwag.

"Yeah, He's been courting me so I'm planning to say yes to him. Maybe tomorrow"

"That's good to hear. By the way I heard my dad talks to you? I hope he didn't do nonsense thing?" kabadong saad nito.

"Actually, he just said that I need to stay away from you. At ngayon alam ko na" natatawang saad ko sakanya.

His father really wanted me to stay away for my sake. Kahit nasasaktan ako ay medyo na gets ko rin naman ang punto ng kanyang ama.

"Oh god! I'm really stressed with them" inis na saad ni cyfer at napahilamos pa sa mukha.

"Hey chill. Wala naman siyang ginawa. Just say sorry to him for me"

"Why?" takang tanong nito.

I just laughed at him. "Tsimoso mo"

"I'm not. I'm just curious" defensive na saad nito.

"Edi curious, masyadong defensive 'to"
